Chapter 1273: In Exchange, I Want Jian Yiling

Hence, this time around, he penetrated into the Loyalty Alliance much more easily. By doing so, he managed to dismantle this business alliance that lasted for hundreds of years.

“Master Sheng, we can’t be completely blamed for this matter. You didn’t show up for two whole years and we did not know whether you were dead or alive. If you die, there would be no one to inherit the Zhai family business. If that was the case, the Loyalty Alliance would not have a leader in the future. This would be a huge mess to deal with,” the slightly fat old man replied. He tried to justify his betrayal and that of the other members.

“That’s right. If you showed up once in the past two years or if the Second Master of the Zhai family was willing to get married and in turn take over the Zhai family, we wouldn’t have had any business dealings with Mr. Qin,” another core member added.

There was a smile on Zhai Yunsheng’s lips as he listened to their excuses. It was as though he was watching a play

“Well well, you’ve already colluded with Qin Chuan. So why don’t you guys stop making excuses for yourself? So what exactly do you plan to do in the future?” Zhai Yunsheng asked as he leaned back on his chair and twirled the purple sand teacup in his hand. He was seemingly not affected by the mutiny in front of him.

“Master Sheng, even though we feel bad for the Zhai family and we’re sorry to Master Zhai, Mr. Qin and the Qin group is now the leader of our Loyalty Alliance. This can’t be helped as the Zhai family has been declared bankrupt. We will no longer listen to the Zhai family.”

“Yeah, our company enterprises manage hundreds and thousands of employees and manage the livelihood of thousands of families. If our businesses also collapse, many people will have to lose their jobs. There is nothing we can do about this.”

“Master Sheng, I think it is best for us to resolve this matter peacefully. There’s no point in doing this the hard way. The Zhai family has been declared bankrupt and you’re not suitable to be our leader anymore.”

Even though the Zhai family had been the leader of the Loyalty Alliance for hundreds of years, they were now being forced to abdicate by the people they supported.

And somehow, Qin Chuan had unknowingly taken over the Loyalty Alliance from within.

…

Qin Chuan and Zhai Yunsheng looked at each other. Both of their eyes were incredibly sharp.

“Zhai Yunsheng, I’m giving you a chance to take back everything and revive the Zhai family business. The only thing that I want from you in exchange is Jian Yiling.”

As Qin Chuan was unable to change Jian Yiling’s mind, he decided to attempt to convince Zhai Yunsheng.

As long as Zhai Yunsheng unilaterally gave up, Jian Yiling would naturally be disappointed in him.

“Are you daydreaming or something? If you’re unable to wake up, go back to sleep,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. “Why would I care about this trashy alliance? Why would I ever exchange my darling Yiling for this? Who would want such a terrible deal?”

…

The core members of the Loyalty Alliance looked a bit uncomfortable when Zhai Yunsheng called them a “trashy alliance.”

It was clearly the Zhai family’s own uselessness and their own bankruptcy.

What right did he have to call them trashy?

“Zhai Yunsheng, I know you’re a proud man. Losing your career and family business made you suffer a lot of ridicule. You probably experienced it not long ago at the alumni event. Will you really be able to rely on a woman for your entire life?”

Qin Chuan knew that Zhai Yunsheng had his pride.

Even though he acted like he didn’t care about anything, this was not the case.

“It seems as though you know me quite well,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He could not deny that he did not want to rely on a woman for the rest of his life.
